APPARATUS FOR REMOVING DUST.

APPLIOATION FILED JUNE-6, 1900.

Q 1,057,347, Patented Mar. 25, 1913.

Witnefaes: I EMIenttng W746 1 avjcl T @7212 air and suspended'dust and dirtfrom the suction chamber in the nozzle. The upper end of the tubular handle is connected through a union 7 with a flexible pipe 8, the other end of which is connected through a union 9 with the other parts of the apparatus for removing the dust and dirt from the air and effecting the movement of the air, set forth in my application for Letters Patent above mentioned.

The unions, bends and interior corners of t-he'implement generally are flush or round ed so that the passageway for the air, dust and dirt therethrough will be free from corhers and sharp bends.

The implement as illustrated is particularly suited for cleaning carpets, because by reason of the narrowness oi" the nozzle, it can be pushed down into the fabric and the cleaning made more effective. The lips of the slot not only lie in the contact surface, but practically form it, the surface being coextensive with the lips, which must be stout enough to resist closure of the slot by lion-chamber having an elongated contactsuriace formed on one side thereof, and pro vided with an air-inlet into the suctionchnmber through a narrow slot in the contact-surface lying parallel to its longer dimension, a handle set at right angles to the slot and oblique to the plane of the contactsurface, and an air-outlet for the suctionchamber, the upper wall of the suctionchamber being tapered downward fromthe outlet in the direction 01 the .ends of the slot, substantially as described.

Signed at New York city, N. Y., this 5th day of June, 1906.
